[1] Susan Landau and Alan Rozenshtein Debate End-to-End Encryption (Again!) https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/lawfare-daily--susan-la...!)

As mentioned in the article, Salt Typhoon and the recency of this request by the UK. At this point they should know better.

My pet theory is anytime the US wants to do something illegal under US law, they simply ask the UK to do it and vice versa. That's why Salt Typhoon isn't and never will be a lesson learned.

I actually have no idea either.

I remember when Trump had Canada re-ratify Nafta that Canada had to waive the right to require Canadian data stay in Canada.

I know Canada signed the agreement but I am not sure if that requirement was ever put in legislation or whether the requirement was universal or just for US-based companies.

Carney has Julie-Payette issues in his past and probably won't leave his board seats to clean up Justin's mess, but never underestimate the ego I guess.

Were they being engineer-minded or where they being lobbied? I would like to think they were betting on Beta -- the superior technology -- in the Beta v VHS battle of our time.

What am I missing here? Toyota's engineers have a great track record and the company isn't easily swayed by fads or Wall Street.

I think a better foundation for generative AI regulation is the moral rights of the artist [1], not copyright law.

But the courts will take years, if ever, to get that far.

What do you recommend?

The artificial scarcity model they have now is broken. Pay-per-use seems better if the cost per read is adequate enough. All-you-can-eat-at-fixed-price (Oyster and Scribd) have the economics upside down.

Then Amazon had a problem. What to do?

They couldn't give the 99 cents from the US customers to the American publishers because it (A) belonged to the publisher outside the US and (B) the American copies were $9.99 so it wouldn't have been enough.

They could have prompted the American customers to pay the difference, then compensate the American rights holders.

They could have done nothing.

But in the end they said 'we didn't have the right to sell you this in the first place so we are taking the book back'.

Gross but similar to what happens when you change the country code for your Apple ID and things you bought disappear.

"We're going to share revenue with everybody and I would just get a revenue sharing program for celebrities for any verified account and I create two levels of verification. Top level of verification. Anybody can be verified if they use their real name, credit card verification, whatever. Pay 10 bucks. We'll do a background check on you. Make sure your credit cards correct and we'll know what's your name, your zip code, whatever we have your address. You typed in a code that would be like blue level and then I would create gold level which is notable people in the world as determined by our editors. These are notable people as determined by our editors, actors, journalists, musician, whatever, and we have a notable group and we have a committee that just votes on who's notable. If you're notable and you should, we share revenue with you and we give you a gold star."
